Parker - Duofold Centenn - Fountain pen

A0000004413

The pen is presented in very good overall condition, standing out for excellent cosmetic and functional preservation. The body and cap in black resin maintain a high original shine, with deep, uniform reflections that enhance its classic elegance. No cracks, fissures, or deformations are visible, only very light micro-signs of use typical of the passage of time and careful handling, practically imperceptible to the naked eye.

The gold-plated elements — the arrow-shaped clip and rings — are in very good condition, with clean, homogeneous gilding and no significant loss of plating or evident wear. The overall appearance remains highly attractive.

The original Parker nib, solid 18-karat gold, is in excellent condition, perfectly aligned, undistorted, and with a well-preserved tip. The feed is clean and in proper condition, ensuring an adequate ink flow.

The cartridge/converter filling system works correctly, having been inspected and serviced, ready for immediate use.

Overall, this is a very well-preserved piece, with an ideal balance between use and care, fully functional and with aesthetics that reflect the quality of the Duofold line.

Conservation recommendations

To preserve its condition, it is recommended to use high-quality fountain pen inks, avoid pigmented inks, periodically clean with warm water if not used for some time, thoroughly dry before storage, store in a dry place away from direct light or extreme temperatures, and operate the filling system gently.

It will be shipped in a courtesy box for proper preservation.

Happy bidding!
